Hi Glen,

I believe they are still working out some of the details, but I do not believe there is power on the field. There may be recharging options during the day though? I seem to remember some mention of imaging in the information.. but I don't recall off hand.

I received an email a day or so after I filled out the survey, hopefully they will be able to answer your questions.

I did fill in the survey form and received a reply with additional info. Re power they said bring a generator or batteries. Now it looks as if only some lights near the oval will be shut off and the school has security lights that have to stay on. Some doubt about the blockout drapes as well. The public outreach days are probably a no-go for people looking for serious astronomy and they suggested the final two days for that. They advised that Sky light conditions will probably not be as good as a proper dark site, but that is not what they are aiming for. I am leary of school holiday events and would probably pass this time but i hope it is a big success for them.
